Best Disappeared Poems

A collaboration between Paul Callus & Carolyn Devonshire
 
Where were you when she disappeared?
Is the moment caught in your mind?
Were you nervous as the day neared,
or to its approach were you blind?
 
     She took the lonely winding road

A lot of acquaintances deemed me lucky, and I knew I was,
For I had a successful life, when all could have been chaos.

I had a wonderful job that I loved, making plenty of money,
And a loving family and friends, and my future seemed sunny!

I then...

Big Brenda knew things were not right
When she saw the rolls of cellulite
She could not disguise
The wrinkly thighs
And her hanging butt groaning with fright .


Skinny Jack just stood there and leered
It was worse than his lean frame had feared
When he sat on her lap
And had...

Woke up this morning,

winter was gone,

cold and snow took

a break for now.

My old friends

the robbins are

everywhere to

be seen and

making those

beautiful sounds

I missied so,

sunshine and

blue skies so

wonderful to behold,

knowing nauture is

only playing tricks

on me, winter woes

will be back when

their spring break is over,

to torment me,

as it...

in summer
 a cat appeared
 in my backyard
 every day
 bathed in the sunshine
 rolled on its back
 then sneaked under the fence
   on its merry way...

 now a forbidding wind moans
 leaves snap off of trees
 late afternoons
 the hawk is out

My only grasp
Her words and prose
The link between my sadness and her heart
Erased, words evaporated, away in the wind
I feel my desperation and sin
For why do I so cling?
To words that disappear
To dreams that fade away
To desires that are drowned in whiskey sour
Sour like the...

I am asleep when you entered the mind

walking into this dream awakening from behind clouds

the fragrance of thoughts captivate an inner vision

Dancing upon whispers began the soul's tangoing inside

an artistic expression appears behind the mirrors

mysteriously alluring captured within a heartbeat

Forever dazzling most radiantly dressed starlight...

One day I was awakened,
I could sense change in the air,
No humility,
This feeling was like no other!
Nothing could compare,
I proceeded to get ready for work,
When I stepped outside,
Birds were chirping, neighbors didn't stare,
I guess hope is alive,
As walked into the corner store,
Nobody followed me around,
Keeping...

On the Disappearance of Friends in Exile


The land is haunted
By unburied corpses and foetuses.
None have names,
Or tribe with kinsmen,
Or identity with place-of-birth,
Or wounds with scars.
None of them are known,
But they are gone to early death
History, even, does not know who they are.
No voice of mourning...

No note,
the bed unmade,
the milk, imprisoned in plastic,
left to grow solid on the kitchen table.
Winter’s gray made me insane, and
so I flew on steel wings to Buenos Aires,
where the air is humid and smells of unwashed
sins, and the angry sun beats down 
on oceans of...

It's never meant to be
What I feel for you is no longer there
Whoops it's gone
The funniest thing is I made it happened
And it did
Wouldn't you know it?
How would you like it to be on demand?
Awesome I think
I didn't think my tolerance has a limit
Guess it...

What if Christmas never happened?  
What if Christmas never came?
Things around here would be different! 
It wouldn’t be the same!

What if the baby Jesus was never born in a manger?
Mankind would be in serious trouble. We’d all be in danger!

If the baby Jesus wasn’t...

Doug disappeared on a Monday right after he had finished his little to-do list.
Clean house, check, do laundry, check, take dog to vet, check, spray mirror with slightly warm Wind-mist.
It was  his current list, his wife stated adamantly. I keep them  here in...

Without a whisper, without a hiss, you disappear, 
Disappear in the mists. No shadows, no footprints, 
Only slimy sticky lies, oozing out of dark from the slits… 
Search begins within, deep inside in the corners of words, 
Burning fears, raging soul, dusk of worlds 
Shattering...
